Professor Paul Basu is a faculty member at the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, University of Oxford, and serves as a curator at the Pitt Rivers Museum. His interdisciplinary research bridges critical heritage, museum studies, and material culture analysis in transcultural contexts, focusing on how colonial archives and collections shape contemporary cultural memory and geopolitical dynamics.
His work explores the entanglement of natural and cultural heritage in shifting regimes of value, emphasizing participatory methods and multimodal storytelling. Notable projects include the '[Re:]Entanglements' exhibition at the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (2021–22), which interrogated colonial collections through films like Faces|Voices and Unspoken Stories.
Current DPhil students under his supervision include Fiona Asokacitta, Mercedes Baptiste Halliday, and William Gmayi.
